Page 4 The Battalion Monday, July 19,1993 At 75, Mandela still looking to the future THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Nelson Mandela became 75 on Sunday, and the brightest days may still lie ahead for the man who seems destined to be South Africa's first black leader. As Mandela celebrated his birthday, he and the African Na tional Congress are closer than ever to ending white rule. Or, in Mandela's words: “The transformation of South Africa into a united, democratic, nonra- cial and nonsexist country has reached a decisive point." There is still plenty of friction between the ANC and the white government. Police gunfire caused a car in an ANC convoy to crash Sunday as an ANC leader-drove home from Man dela's birthday party. One ANC member died and two were seri ously injured. But a multiracial election that would end apartheid is set for April. If the ANC wins as expect ed, Mandela would become presi dent, capping a lifetime of politi cal endeavor that began when he was thrown out of college for or ganizing a student strike more than 50 years ago Since then, Mandela has come to embody the black political struggle, fighting in roles that changed with the times: young ac tivist, underground guerrilla com mander, political prisoner, globe trotting leader. His hair is turning white, his walk is getting stiff and his speeches are often dry, but he re mains one of the world's charis matic figures. On his recent U.S. tour, Man dela was toasted as a president-in- waiting by politicians in Washing ton, business leaders in New York and movie stars in Hollywood. Mandela receives similar treat ment in South Africa, and it some times seems he already is co-presi dent with F.W. de Klerk. Their pronouncements get roughly equally coverage on gov ernment television. A few years ago, when Mandela was in prison, it was illegal to quote him. For a foreign dignitary visiting de Klerk, it also is a must to see Mandela at ANC headquarters, where he has a spacious, corner office on the 10th floor overlook ing the cluttered, chaotic streets of downtown Johannesburg. Welcome to America, now please go home Border patrol issues voluntary departure orders THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HELENA, Mont. — When the U.S. Border Patrol recently picked up 24 Mexicans work ing illegally as tree planters in western Mon tana, the agency's action was swift — and trusting. The workers were simply set free and told to go home. Clutching instructions to depart, the labor ers were released soon after agents picked them up in raids during May. The patrol pro vided no transportation south, and made no compliance check. Officials believe their em ployer took them to a neighboring state and turned them loose. Immigration agents concede that voluntary departure orders with no follow-up do little to get undocumented workers out of the country. But they say limited funds and the huge num ber of illegal aliens in the United States — 3 million to 5 million — makes tougher enforce ment impossible. “The United States cannot afford to pay everybody's ticket back home," said Richard Kenney, a spokesman at the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service headquarters in Washington. Nor can the government afford to check whether people such as the tree planters really go back across the border, he said. “The likelihood that they're going to leave? Common sense. Think about it," said Jim Switzer, head of the Border Patrol's Spokane, Wash., sector, which covers parts of Washing ton, Idaho and Montana. “If you want the per son to go, obviously you need to get them to the border, which costs money." Within the United States, illegal aliens are routinely rounded up as they make their way north from Mexico. In Tucson, Ariz., the patrol daily runs buses 60 miles to the border, return ing dozens of Mexican nationals, though some cross the border again within hours. FBI director out of hospital; says he won't quit his job_ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — FBI Director William Sessions returned home Sunday from a night in the hospital after breaking his arm, still determined not to quit his job despite reported administration demands that he resign this week or be fired. “It's a matter of principle," Sessions said as he emerged from Sibley Hospital. “It's a matter of being certain that everybody un derstands across the world and across the nation that this director is not guilty of unethical or improper conduct and that the bureau must not be anything other than an independent agency." Sessions broke his right arm when he tripped over a curb on leaving the Justice Department on Saturday. His ability to complete the final 41/2 years of his 10-year term came into doubt in January when the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility issued a scathing report accusing him of ethical lapses. Sessions said the only way he would leave “is for the president to say, T want to replace you.’ If he does it. I’ve gone all the way with the bureau and I know that I've done my job." Clinton, via messengers, said something to that effect Saturday when Sessions was told he must quit or be fired, possibly as early as Monday, according to a law enforcement official who asked not to be identified. The official was not in the Justice Department meeting with At torney General Janet Reno, White House Counsel Bernard Nuss- baum, Deputy Attorney General Philip Heymann and Associate Attorney General Webster Hubbell. But he said he understood such an ultimatum was given to Sessions. In addition, more indirect signals have been rampant, such as leaked reports about possible successors, the most prominent one being U.S. District Judge Louis Freeh of Manhattan. The 43-year-old Freeh, a former FBI agent and federal prosecu tor, spent two hours with Clinton on Friday night, according to a senior administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity.

"I want to give six or sev en strong in nings, keep the bullpen out of the game until then, throw with good mechanics and just help a team that’s in the pennant chase," Ryan said. That, and stay healthy. This spring, when Ryan an nounced that his record 27th ma jor league season would be his last, the Texas Rangers' right-han der said his one hope for 1993 was not to have any regrets. After watching so many play ers see their talents diminish in the twilight of their careers, Ryan wanted nothing more than for fans to say he had gone out on top, that he'd quit on his terms and even could have gone anoth er season. So far, that hasn't been the case. So far, coming back for this season has been a mistake. Ryan is 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA and two stints on the disabled list. His start Monday will be his first since May 7, when he strained a hip muscle in his first start back from arthroscopic knee surgery. \ While rehabilitating from the hip injury, Ryan sliced his foot when he stepped on the blade of a water ski during an outing with his family. “This is the one thing I wanted to avoid this year," Ryan said. “I had one of my best springs ever, healthwise, and I knew my arm was still strong. I wanted to be able to look back on this season and say, T could have gone one more.' " Now, Ryan hopes to get in 12 to 15 starts in the second half, something manager Kevin Kennedy says is imperative if the Rangers are to stay in the AL West race. “If we get a healthy Ryan back, we stand as good a chance as any body of winning this division," third baseman Dean Palmer said. “We need healthy players, and that starts with Nolan." Ryan remained in Arlington during the Rangers' final road trip before the All-Star break, trying to recapture his mechanics. He worked out daily with former Rangers pitching coach Tom House, now a consultant with the team. On Wednesday, Ryan threw 95 pitches in a five-inning simulated game at Arlington Stadium against eight reserves, then field ed ground balls, after which he re ported no physical problems. In anticipation of his return, Rangers fans and scalpers snatched up tickets, making Mon day night's game a sellout last week. This will mark the second time in Ryan's three starts at Arlington Stadium this year that the Rangers have drawn more than 40,000. The other game was played in treacherous conditions with swirling winds and rain that kept fans away. With Ryan returning to the ro tation, several area card shops are reporting a run on Ryan memora bilia reminiscent of the 1989-91 seasons, when Ryan reached 5,000 strikeouts, won his 300th game and hurled his sixth and seventh no-hitters. Beckett Publications this month released its first magazine devoted to a single subject, titled “Beckett Tribute: Nolan Ryan." Ryanmania is back. And so is Nolan ... if he can stay healthy.

No more. He answered them all Sunday with the “best golf of my life," the Great White Shark biting back fe rociously to capture his second British Open title and post the lowest score in the champi onship's 122 years. “I'm not a person who boasts, but I'm just in awe of myself for the way I hit the golf ball today," Norman said after he beat his nemesis, Nick Faldo, by 2 strokes with a final round 6-under-par 64 that gave him a record total of 267. In a dozen Opens at Royal St. George's, only one other player had broken par for the tourna ment. Bill Rogers posted 276 in 1981, and Norman made that look ridiculous. Tom Watson held the record for any British Open, 268 at Turnberry in 1977, and Norman wiped that out, too. Norman was hardly the only one in awe. After his second shot on 18, partner Bernhard Langer, third at 270, told him as they walked down the fairway: “It's the greatest golf I've ever seen my life." And at the award ceremony, moments before Norman received the silver claret jug, 91-year-old Gene Sarazen, the first man to complete a career Grand Slam, told the crowd: “I've never seen such golf. Are those football scores?" Norman had gone into a funk after his 76-67 thrashing by Faldo in the third round of this tourna ment three years ago. “When I was down and out I said to myself, 'Is it worth it?"' said the 38-year-old Norman, who won his only other major in the 1986 British Open. On Sunday, Norman went out trailing Faldo by a stroke and thought he'd need a 66 to win af ter seeing the low scores early the day — including Payne Stewart's 63 that matched the Open record Faldo tied in the second round. Faldo, 36, watched impatiently from the tee with co-leader Corey Pavin as Norman hit a wedge to 4 feet of the first hole right in front of them and matched birdies with partner Bernhard Langer. Those birdies immediately locked all four players in a four way tie at 8-under. Faldo had a chance to get back his 1-stroke lead, but his chip from 40 feet on the fringe of the green barely eluded the hole. Pavin then two-putted from 6 feet for a bogey to fall and fell off the lead. He nev er shared it again. On to baseball. . . 11th inning sacrifice fly lifts Cards over Astros ST. LOUIS (AP) - Mark Whiten's bases- loaded sacrifice fly in the 11th inning gave the St. Louis Cardinals a 7-6 victory over the Houston Astros on Sunday. The Cardinals, chasing first-place Philadelphia in the NL East, took three of four games from the Astros. Whiten, who hit a two-run homer earlier in the game, scored Ozzie Smith, who start ed the inning with a walk off Doug Jones (3- 7). After Smith walked, Luis Alicea reached on an infield single and both runners moved up on Rod Brewer's sacrifice. Todd Zeile was walked intentionally to load the bases and Al Osuna relieved. Whiten then greeted Osuna with a fly ball to center. Lee Guetterman (2-1) retired six straight batters for the victory. Houston tied the score, 6-6, in the eighth on doubles by Scott Servais and Chris Parker off Rheal Cormier. San Diego's broom can't sweep Philadephia SAN DIEGO (AP) - Curt Schilling ended a personal five-game losing streak, and the Philadelphia Phillies benefited from three errors to beat the San Diego Padres 6-3 Sun day to avoid a four-game sweep. Schilling (9-6) allowed six hits in seven in nings to win for the first time since June 11, when he beat the New York Mets 5-2 in a complete game. Mitch Williams pitched the ninth for his 24th save. Schilling was working on a shutout until Tony Gwynn singled with two outs in the sixth, followed by Phil Plantier's homer to right field, his 15th. Archi Cianfrocco home- red to left-center with two outs in the sev enth, his fourth. The Phillies, who had lost four straight and seven of nine to see their lead in the NL East shrink to three games, scored six runs, including four unearned, off rookie Doug Brocail (2-5). Rangers lose to Detroit; Doherty posts shutout ARLINGTON (AP) - John Doherty broke out of a four-game slump with a three-hitter and his first career shutout, car rying the Detroit Tigers to a 2-0 victory over the Texas Rangers on Sunday night. Doherty (9-5) pitched the Tigers' first complete-game shutout of the season. Doherty, who allowed singles in the third, fourth and seventh innings, struck out four, matching a career high, and didn't is sue a walk while raising his career record at Arlington Stadium to 3-0. Detroit scored the game's only runs in the fourth inning off Charlie Liebrandt (9-5), who allowed eight hits in seven innings. Travis Fryman led off with a triple, but Leibrandt retired the next two batters. After Mickey Tettleton walked, Rob Deer singled in the first run and Skeeter Barnes drove in Tettleton with a double.
